It's the Moments that Matter

Awards, etc.

There are several reasons for my not accepting blog/website awards or challenges that involve answering questions (or writing/creating artwork) and then recruiting or nominating a certain number of others to do the same thing. The first reason is that I have a lot of trouble saying “No”, and the second is that I will never follow through by selecting or nominating anyone else. The third reason, I guess, is that I am not good at confrontation. And so both kindness and honesty are served best by my simply saying “No” and following through, rather than going all “passive-aggressive” on it, which is how I have handled things most often, throughout life.
